Abstract (en)
Computer-implemented method comprising obtaining a bit stream and transforming the bit stream into a floating-point number, wherein the floating-point number comprises an exponent and a significand, the transformation comprising determining the exponent of the floating-point number based on counting a number of bitwise shifts needed to obtain a bit value of 1 at a designated position of the bit stream, the transformation further comprising determining the significand of the floating-point number based on a certain number of bits that are different from the bits used for determining the exponent.
